The Dopamine molecule is capable of making strong hydrogen bonds. Edit the dopamine molecule so it can no longer make strong hydrogen bonds.

roughly speaking, hydrogen bonding occurs between hydrogen involved with a polar bond and an unshared electron pair on an electronegative atom on another molecule. in light of this textbook definition, we can replace the amine group (the part that contains N-H) and the OH groups with something that doesn't contain highly polar bonds (such as a CH3 group). these will participate in hydrogen bonding between dopamine and water, among two or more dopamines, and also between dopamine and other biomolecules. so here is my attempt: |dw:1366571253096:dw|

notice that i took over the O and N atoms because they have lone pairs that can participate in h-bonding.
